C-section recovery… when does your body feel normal again?

C-section recovery is humbling me 😅 I feel like my body is completely different right now. My core strength is gone, I get winded just walking, and even getting up off the floor feels weirdly hard.

I’m 5’0” and went from 110 to 180 at delivery, now I’m sitting around 145. I know it takes time but I just feel stuck and none of my clothes fit which isn’t helping my mood.

Hormones also feel chaotic and I don’t feel emotionally like myself yet. I recently stopped breastfeeding and still haven’t gotten my period back.

Also… I swear I can’t stand how I smell now and I didn’t expect that postpartum surprise 😭

Anyone else go through this? When did you start feeling normal again?
